Lloyd Walsh was born in Oswego, N.Y. in 1922. His was the "voice" of Colgate University and Utica area high school basketball for over three decades. After graduation from Oswego High School and attendance at Oswego State, he enlisted in the Army in 1942 and was a combat infantryman in the 35th Division, part of General Patton IS 111ird Army.

After the war, Walsh entered Syracuse University and graduated with a degree in radio broadcasting. In 1953, he joined WRUN where, in addition to play-by-play sports, he has worked in sales, administration and special projects.
